Dear sir

Hope you don’t mind me asking…. what’s your view on “Approved Authors”?

Are you all for them or do you think only a character’s creator should write about them?

I ask because my mum once bought me a massive book with 4 stories about Mallory, Miller and Andrea….The Navarone series.

The first 2 were the novels penned by Alistair MacLean, the other 2 were by an approved author.

Forgive me but I couldn’t bring myself to even attempt to read the second 2 stories.  I’m sure the author is a fine writer, but I know had I tried reading them I’d have questioned “would MacLean have done that”?
